  • Quote: I need a kick in the pants so here I am. I feel like I'm getting sick so I'll do my best until I'm back to feeling better. I'm going to aim for 12 pounds. That's 12 weeks away so definitely doable for me. My starting weight is 174.
    Yay! I am so happy to see you!!!!

    Quote: Ooh, I want to do this!!! My family always gets together, and I want my weight loss to be noticeable. I am going to shoot for 10 lbs! I also have a wedding in May, and my husband is a groomsman, and I want to look good on his arm
    Welcome LittleMoomRabbit! What a cute name! Oh I know you can do this and you'll look fabulous on your hubby's arm I am sure!


    Ninki, I hear ya on the bad weekend. I ate fast food, GS cookies, just bad bad bad! I need a good kick in the pants which is why I started this. I need "something" to get my back on track. I haven't really tried since November. I KNOW I can do this if I just try and put my mind to it.

    I ate a tad over calories today, but I did manage to get some exercise in. I'm actually a bit sore tonight so I know the muscles are still there! lol!

    Thank you ladies for helping me get it back together!
  • Hi All,
    I weighed in this morning and was 156.9, whew, I looked the other way for a few weeks and about 3 lbs just snuck on me (okay not snuck - I pretty much ate everything in sight). I would love to see anything under 148 (148 = no longer obese), but honestly if I could fit in this size 8 dress again I would be happy with that. I am doing a reading (and FH is standing up) in a wedding on June 6th.
  • I'll join in too! I'm really struggling to see much of a change in the scale (while hubby is easily dropping weight, grr!), so I'll just go with 10 lbs.

    Current Weight: 230.6
    Memorial Day Goal: 220.6
  • Hello!!! I am IN! I'm shooting for 20 by my 30th b-day in September, so 10 by Memorial Day. Is 10 OK?

    I have found that when i'm most successful I also set daily or weekly goals for eating and exercising... mini goals to get me to the big goal. So... my weekly goals are:
    workout 4x week
    follow ww points - every day (only allow flex points 1 day)
    get at least 7 hours of sleep (minimum - goal is 8!)

    Are you gals up for daily/weekly check ins?
  • Whoops, forgot starting weight - 168 this morning. UGH. Today is the last time I see that number!
  • Today's my weigh in day so I might as well check in.

    SW: 227 (last thursday)
    CW: 219 (-8)
    GW: 199

    20 pounds to go! Good luck everyone!

    Vixjean, it sounds like we are in a similar boat as far as weddings go. We are both at a similar weight too Good luck!

    Good luck everyone! And thank you, Diva, for the warm welcome

    10 lbs is great and yes! I like to check in everyday if I can but ya don't have to. Once a week is fine, just check in and let us know how you're doing.

  • Okay down to 195 today. Just .5 but that's good enough for me. I did well yesterday. But then my sister sat across from me at dinner and I had a bite of her chicken alfredo and finished her nachos. Bad me!!! But i skipped dessert and did 30DS when I got home from work so I don't feel too bad!
  • Here's a butt kick for everyone who needs it. Com'on people we can do this!! I know it is hard and we all hate to workout. Believe me I know and totally understand. But we ALL need this! So go get your arse moving girls!

    No pain no gain

    I eat healthy foods and try to keep my calories to a reasonable limit with all the exercise I do. I try to do at least an hour of exercise everyday but I usually do get in about 2-3 hours everyday. I do about 2-3 hours on my stationary bike and about 1 hour of the Wii fit daily. I also try to get to my bowflex and I have some dvds I sometimes do but I absolutely love my stationary bike. A bit crazy lol but I wouldn't have it any other way.
  • I must be PMSing...I want to eat everything in sight and have been hungry since morning today even though I have eaten. Haaaate it!!

    I was about to say that we've been having the same weather. Then I looked at your location. Well, of course we're having the same weather, lol, we live in the same area!
